Inspection summary

Blueberry Field Child Care Inc. has been inspected 15 times by Vancouver Coastal Health since August 31, 2021. The most recent inspection, on August 27, 2026, recorded 4 infractions.

3 of 15 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 5 inspections with 19 infractions recorded. All recorded findings relate to upkeep, equipment or paperwork rather than direct health risks.

Recent inspections have recorded more infractions than earlier ones, so it is worth reading the latest reports closely.

What these findings mean

Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for the people in care. Higher-risk findings are the ones that could directly make someone sick, and they matter more here because young children, older adults and people who are unwell are more vulnerable to infection.

  • Permits, records and postingLower risk

    Operating permits, required signage, written procedures and logs. These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.

    Recorded 16 times across 9 separate inspections, most recently on August 27, 2026. For example: Current policies and procedures are kept as required . [CCLR Sec.56 (1) and CCALA 19]

  • Equipment and utensilsLower risk

    Equipment has to be made of cleanable materials, kept in good repair and stored properly. These findings are mostly about upkeep, like a cracked surface or worn part. They are generally lower risk but show how well the place is maintained.

    Recorded 7 times across 6 separate inspections, most recently on August 27, 2026. For example: Maintenance of Equipment: A log is kept of all inspections, maintenance and repairs. [Director of Licensing Standard of Practice - Safe Play Space]

  • Food safety training and certificationLower risk

    Many jurisdictions require a trained or certified person on site, such as a certified food handler. These findings mean the training record or the trained person was missing at the time. They do not by themselves mean anything was handled unsafely.

    Recorded 6 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on August 27, 2026. For example: The licensee keeps a current record for each child showing the information required. [CCLR Sec. 57]

  • Other findingsLower risk

    Findings that do not fit the categories above, such as follow-ups that confirm an earlier violation was corrected, or requirements specific to this type of facility.

    Recorded 25 times across 10 separate inspections, most recently on June 9, 2026. For example: Prior to employing staff the manager has met with each person and has obtained the appropriate documentation. [CCLR Sec. 19(1)]
